17For Herode him sylfe had sent forth and had taken Iohn and bounde him and cast him into preson for Herodias sake which was his brother Philippes wyfe. For he had maried her. 18Iohn sayd vnto Herode: It is not laufull for the to have thy brothers wyfe. 19Herodias layd wayte for him and wolde have killed him but she coulde not. 20For Herode feared Iohn knowynge yt he was a iuste man and an holy: and gave him reverence: and when he hearde him he dyd many thinges and hearde him gladly. 21But when a couenient daye was come: Herode on his birth daye made a supper to ye lordes captayns and chefe estates of Galile. 22And ye doughter of ye sayde Herodias came in and daused and pleased Herode and them that sate at bourde also.

And she sayde: Iohn Baptistes heed. 25And she cam in streygth waye with haste vnto ye kynge and axed sayinge: I will that thou geve me by and by in a charger ye heed of Iohn Baptist. 26And ye kynge was sory: howbe it for his othes sake and for their sakes which sate at supper also he wolde not p ut her besyde her purpose. 27And immediatly ye kynge sent ye hangma and comaunded his heed to be brought in. And he went and beheeded him in the preson 28and brought his heed in a charger and gave it to the mayden and the mayden gave it to her mother. 29And when his disciples hearde of it they came and toke vp his body and put it in a toumbe.
